I can't believe I finally caught up!
I discovered the History of Rome podcast a little over 1 year ago. After listening to all the episodes, I transitioned to the Revolutions podcast and finally I caught up with the series.
I just wanted to take this time to say that I have been enjoying the podcasts immensely and thank you for all the hard work you put into it!
I have pre-ordered the Storm before the Storm and am looking forward to reading it. I also hope that the History of Rome book will be reprinted at some point!

Hey Mike,
I have been a huge fan of your podcast, since I am a young scholar concerned with the intellectual history of the Age of Revolutions, most especially with reactionary criticism. I will make sure to recommend your series on the French Revolution to my prospective students, since it is the single most entertaining, conscise summary I have ever encountered.
On Metternich: I recommend to anyone interested in Metternich, the Congress of Vienna, and the peace-making process after the Napoleonic Wars, to read Henry Kissinger's doctoral dissertation, A World Restored. Breathtakingly detailed, yet never boring; he lays out the foundations of the idiosyncratic breed of conservatism that proved to definitive for his entire academic and political career. The paralells he draws between Napoleon and Hitler are chilling to the bone.
Also I am extremely excited about the new season, since I am Hungarian, and it will be nice to get to know to your take on the events. AND, I will pre-order as soon as I get my salary early August.
I wish you well, perseverence and enthusiasm for what is to come!

I'm probably looking forward to 1848 the most from all the revolutions covered so far. Such an extremely important date for both European and world history, yet if you would ask most people around the planet these days what they know about it, they would probably have only very vague knowledge at best.

Hi Mike,
In the last 4/5 months I've been binge listening all your podcasts. This is the first episode I had to wait for, horrible withdrawal week.
Does ebook count for your Times aim?
Great great work, keep going

Pre-ordered. I have a feeling it'll be a nice treat to receive in October. This podcast is an excellent as usual!

If anyone is interested in learning more about Metternich Henry Kissinger's Diplomacy spends about half the book talking about how this era of European government really set the stage for the World Wars and the later rise of American prominence. Even if you disagree with his ideas (I certainly do), its a great look at how "realists" view interstate interactions.
